Youth Plan 2023-2028 Kalamunda Futures

After two Phases of community engagement Kalamunda Futures is here! 

Kalamunda Futures is the City of Kalamunda's strategic framework for the delivery of services to young people aged 0-25 in the City of Kalamunda Community. Kalamunda Futures guides the City's engagement with young people focusing on making sure young people are EMPOWERED, CONNECTED, ACTIVE and REPRESENTED. 

Kalamunda Futures was developed through two Phases of community engagement to allow for ample opportunity for the public to participate in consultation.

The first engagement ran from 25 October 2021 to 27 January 2022 to gather feedback for the creation of the Draft Youth Plan for 2023 - 2028. You can view the Community Engagement Report here.

The second engagement ran from 8 December 2022 to 9 February 2023 for the purpose of gaining feedback on the Draft Plan. You can view the Draft Youth Plan Engagement Report here. 

The community and primarily young people have been the central voice that have lead to the development of this plan and it is thanks to your ongoing feedback that Kalamunda Futures is here!
